He seemed TO shrink together and his

A LADY TRAVELLER.
AN ENGLISH wOMAN'S ASCENT OF
THE HIMALAYA MOUNTAINS.
After Much Coaxing She Succeeds in Secur-
ing the Consent of Her Husband to Make
the Attempt-How the Party Was Made
Up-Some Incidents of the Journey.

All the great travellers of the present
day do not belong to the sterner sex.
The world is familiar with the exploits
of Madame Ida Pfeiffer, who, few years
ago, visited nearly every habitable quar-
ter of the globe, and later still we have
had Lady Florence Dixie's travels
through Patagonia. Other ladies, a little
less known than this venturesome twain,
have earned honorable places on the list
of famous travellers, and one of these
forms the subject of this article.
In the Sikkim district of India, few
years since, the British government es-
tablished the sanitary station of Darrell
ing. 1t is small place on the southern
slope of the Himalayas, the most majes-
tic mountain chain in existence, and can
boast of an elevation of 1000 feet, with
a climate closely resembling that of the
south of England. From Darjeeling can
be seen the imposing form of Kinchin-
junga, the king of Himalayan peaks, and
in plain view also are other heights

and life, and the men with their
more sombre clothing frightened by
gay satin badges and favors of
odd devices which have fallen to
their share in the german. A pleasant
feature of these occasions is the presence
of the large number of children, who,
instead of being reproved for intruding,
are made welcome, and by their un-
studied grace of position form one of the
most artistic points in the picture. For
a moment the merry throng is hushed, as
the photographer, raising his hand, en-
joins silence. Then dropping the cloth
over the camera as he secures a success
full impression, the brief silence is broken
by a babel of voices as every one, speaking
at once, moves to depart to fresh fields
and pastures new. Ten to one there is a
luncheon spread somewhere under the
trees or in the private restaurant of the
hotel, which for another couple of hours
will absorb their attention.
By this time the regular dinner hour
has arrived and the dining room, 300
feet in length, with seating capacity of
1900 persons, is again crowded by those
to whom the invigorating mountain air
has brought wholesome appetite.
After dinner the parlor is for another
hour the scene of brilliant gathering.
If the afternoon is fine one can look out
on the lawn with that confidence born
of long experience in anticipation of the
throng of black-coated walters who a
moment later may be seen bearing tables
and chairs out in the grounds, where
feast has been ordered by some moneyed
guest, whose invitations are issued
broadcast for the fete champetre, at the
close of which, true to their colors, the
company before dispensing indulge in a

The first white person who is known
to have sought the White Sulphur
for the purpose of benefiting by the
medicinal property of its waters was a
Mrs. Anderson, from one of the ad-
joining counties, who, being a great suf-
ferer from chronic rheumatism, was
brought in ITS, and had erected for
her protection tent. A primitive bath
tub was made by excavating a tree
trunk, and after filling the hollow so made
with water, the desired temperature
was gained by dropping in a number of
hot rocks.
From this date the fame of the place
started, and comparatively rapid
transition was made from tents and log
cabins, in which the first sojourners
were sheltered, to the cottages, which
sprang into existence under the en-
terprise of Mr.. James Calwell, the
former owner and proprietor of the
springs.
The present hotel was not erected until
1857, when the property, nearly 1000 acres
in extent, was sold to a company of Vir-
ginia capitalists. During the late war
that portion of the hotel built of brick,
which was all then built, was used as a
hospital. The cottages, 100 in number,
surround the hotel on all sides, for the
most part each little group or cluster
taking for its name that Of one of the
States of the Union. In the earlier
days many of these cottages, notably
those in Colonnade Row, were built by
various rich planters in the South,
who iourneyed here by stage before the
days of railroads. One of the larger cot
tages, built of brick and situated near
the spring, is known to the present day
as the Presidents cottage, from the fact

o'clock, when, the children having been
carried off to bed by their nurses, they
turn their steps toward the ballroom,
where until eleven o'clock dancing is
general.
After this hour the room is almost
nightly engaged by some of thu guests
for private german, which lasts until
far into the morning hours.
In the meantime no end of pri-
vate suppers and champagne parties
have been partaken of by the various
guests invited to each, and so the
night slips away and it is almost day
break before the signal is given for dis
persing.

trees on the smooth lawn the company in
gala dress joining hands as all take part in
the dance. About the pavilion in which
the musicians sit, troop gay cavalcade
of children chasing each other up and
down, while over all the setting sun just
visible from the mountains throws long
shafts of light and frightening shadows.
The guest who fails to appear at sup
per in full evening toilet must indeed be
a stranger to the place and its customs,
for at no resort is greater stress laid upon
the extent and details of the toilet, and
it is, moreover, this time especially,
at which all appear clad in the pur-
pie and fine linen of their wardrobe,
that they may subsequently take part in
the grand promenade which is to follow
in the parlor for the hour or more during
which the children hold high carnival in
the ballroom. This promenade is one of
the peculiarly distinctive features of the
White Sulphur, and its unvarying rotary
motion has been happily dubbed ''the
treadmill." Beginning with the opening
of the regular gay season the treadmill
continues in operation every evening
until the general exodus at the last part

AN EXTRAORDINARY SERMON.
Brilliant Success of Young and BefoI
That Unknown Priest.

Brilliant Success of a Young and Before
That Unknown Priest.
One night young Bossuet, who possessed
in such an eminent degree the power of elO-
quent speech, had gone to the brilliant salon
of Rambouillet. There were gathered in
that famous drawing-rOom some of the most
illustrious French nobility, ladies and gentle
men representing the wit, the learning and
the cleverness of Paris. In the course of the
evening the Marquis de Fenquieres referred
to this young man as one about to enter
upon an ecclesiastical career, and who, from
what he had heard, seemed destined to be
great preacher. Suddenly some one sug-
gested that he might interest the company
by preaching sermon. 1t would be new
sermon were preached impromptu. Texts
were written, shaken up in bag and one OF
the illustrious ladies was to draw one
out, and hand it to the preacher.
The room was arranged, the text
was drawn, and one of the ladies
handed it to the youthful able. He was to
have a quarter of an hour in which to think
over the subject, but as the slip was handed
to him he waived that privilege. How
strongly the words struck on his assembly as
the grave young preacher said-"Vanity of
vanities all is vanity !" At first some were
inclined to laugh, but ere long the feelings
of the assembly were swayed in another di-
rection. The fervor, the boldness, the bril-
lance of that extemporaneous utterance as
founded all ears and affected all hearts. The
sermon was long, and, as will be guessed
from the occasion, there is no report of it
but at its close the Due d Enghein pressed for
ward to grasp the preacher hand, and to in
quire who he was and whence he came. He
came from Dion, and, unknown till that
night, Bossuet afterward took his place as a
bright particular light in the religious firma-
ment of France

that in days gone by among the distin-
guished men who spent the season there
were three whose names will go down to
posterity as having been elected to the
office of chief magistrate - Madison,
Tyler and Pierce. The late President
Arthur spent several days here early in his
administration, upon which occasion he
occupied apartments in Colonnade Row.
In the early days before the railroad
was built the journey to the White Sui
phur was no slight thing. remember
well hearing Mr.. VIM. W. Corcoran, the
millionaire philanthropist, give graphic
account of the manner in which he for
merly travelled here by private coach, the
journey from Washington taking from
week to ten days, according to the
weather and the condition of the roads.
Until within the past year there had
been standing just outside the grounds
of the White Sulphur, near the present
railroad depot, portions of the old sheds
and stalls in which the coaches and horses
of those making the long journey were
sheltered and cared for. The glory of
those days is matter now only of tradi-
ton, for with the introduction of the

From the noisome, noxious vapor of the

came a voice sepulchral, dismal as a
groan from depths abyssmal, and lis
tened, filled with terror, to the fearful

itude which would embrace within its
scope the long list of dining, winning and
entertaining which goes to make up the
season at this, one of the most charming
resorts of our continent-the Baden
Baden of America. Prominent in this
list, indeed the distinguishing feature of
the White Sulphur, is the dancing, which
prevails at all times and hours and is in
dulged in, one might almost say, by young
and old alike. Whether or not this is
due to the exhilarating effect of the
mountain air or liberal draughts of sui
phur water is an open question not to be
dealt with in the present article But to
whatever effect it is due, the fact is es-
tablished beyond all dispute that during
the height of the season dancing is in
dulged in to the exclusion of every other
form of entertainment.
Early in the season as the guests be-
gin to arrive the company gathered
here is charming one, not to be dis
counted by that to be found at other
watering-places in this country. 1t is,
moreover, staid, dignified company,
composed mainly of the old habitues of
the place, whose annual custom it has
been for many seasons back, dating
even in some cases to ante-bellum days,

An old American captain of the Captain
Cutie type, though he was born in New York,
and has never been far from that city, says it
brings bad luck to name vessels after women.
'"They are always getting their owners into
difficulty" he claims. "If they don't meet
with accidents they are doing poor business
or getting into lawsuits or financial embar-
easements. Boats that are named after men
are great deal luckier. You may not be-
lieve it, but fifteen of the recent claims for
damages were against boats bearing the
names of women, and another was against
